I've got a new project underway and it involves creating a portrait of a Canadian that I know. I needed to keep it a little weird since trying to compete directly with those who have mastered photo-realism would be foolish for me. Not to mention that an artist's gotta be who an artist *is* and at this stage of my development I feel I know who I am (right now, at least!)
I met with my subject (it was easy to do, since we live in the same house!) and he sat for me - all dressed up in Day of the Dead make up. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to stylize the actual painting, but photos are my reference tool and I wanted to share a sampling. :)
